| ---help--- |
| A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network |
| Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter. |
| |
| See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on |
| the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips |
| for debugging issues and problems. |
| |
| In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it. |
| You can obtain the firmware from |
| <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you |
| will need to place it in /lib/firmware. |
| |
| You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to |
| configure your card: |
| |
| <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. |
| |
| It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M) |
| rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device |
| initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens |
| before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be |
| unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build |
| this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by |
| including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs. |
| |
| config IPW2100_MONITOR |
| bool "Enable promiscuous mode" |
| depends on IPW2100 |
| ---help--- |
| Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver. |
| With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to |
| promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this |
| mode, no packets can be sent. |
| |
| config IPW2100_DEBUG |
| bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module." |
| depends on IPW2100 |
| ---help--- |
| This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100. |
| |
| This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can |
| control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the |
| value in |
| |
| /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level |
| |
| This entry will only exist if this option is enabled. |
| |
| If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you |
| most likely want to say N here. |

| Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver. |
| With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to |
| promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this |

| config IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS |
| bool "Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface" |
| depends on IPW2200_MONITOR |
| select IPW2200_RADIOTAP |
| ---help--- |
| Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'. |
| This second interface will provide every received in radiotap |
| format. |
| |
| This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while |
| maintaining an active association. |
| |
| Example usage: |
| |
| % modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 |
| % ifconfig rtap0 up |
| % tethereal -i rtap0 |
| |
| If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then |
| the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn |
| it on via sysfs: |
| |
| % echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface |
| |
| config IPW2200_QOS |

| |
| config IPW2200_DEBUG |
| bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module." |
| depends on IPW2200 |
| ---help--- |
| This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200. |
| |
| Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level |
| debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and |
| will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users |
| will typically not need this high verbosity debug information. |
| |
| If you are not sure, say N here. |

| This option enables the hardware independent IEEE 802.11 |
| networking stack. This component is deprecated in favor of the |
| mac80211 component. |
| |
| config LIBIPW_DEBUG |
| bool "Full debugging output for the LIBIPW component" |
| depends on LIBIPW |
| ---help--- |
| This option will enable debug tracing output for the |
| libipw component. |
| |
| This will result in the kernel module being ~70k larger. You |
| can control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by |
| setting the value in |
| |
| /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level |
| |
| For example: |
| |
| % echo 0x00000FFO > /proc/net/ieee80211/debug_level |
| |
| For a list of values you can assign to debug_level, you |
| can look at the bit mask values in ieee80211.h |
| |
| If you are not trying to debug or develop the libipw |
| component, you most likely want to say N here. |
